The Holiday Revue: Free Screenings
Enjoy three family favorites, pick up some gifts
by Staff
Get in a holiday mood with three free screenings of holiday classics at The Revue.
Many thanks to the Roncesvalles Village BIA for sponsoring two screenings of family favorites as an early Christmas gift to the neighbourhood.
*Home Alone, Saturday, Dec. 10, at 2 p.m.
This charming black comedy for kids brought child actor Macaulay Culkin to international attention. Every kid’s fantasy of holding the family fort alone: Mega sundaes, trampoline beds, and some ingenious boobytraps. Also starring John Candy and Joe Pesci.
*A Christmas Story, Saturday, Dec. 17, at 2 p.m.
Based on a comic memoir by a former radio host Jean Shepherd about growing up in the 1940s, this well received venture into seasonal nostalgia is well laced with some very funny scenes, like the assembly-line Santa. Directed by Bob Clark (Black Christmas, Porky’s, Murder by Decree).
*Elf, Sunday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m.
The Revue would also like to thank you for your support and patronage. Come and enjoy another free screening of this holiday favorite, starring Will Ferrell as the oversized, adopted Elf who just doesn’t fit in Santa’s workshop. Directed by Jon Favreau.
